Regarding Getting the Masters Copy

It’s been soooo long since I last updated this blog, and that disappoints me. I wonder if it’s worth keeping it online as it takes money, money I need. But I’ve already paid for another year…So yeah.

Anyways, I’d like to take a moment and address reader feedback (yay). So this reader from India asked if he can get a PDF compilation of my notes. I asked him to download the JPEG from the site instead, and there’s a few reasons for this.

1. My modern handwritten notes are scanned at very high resolution, higher than what a human retina can process: 600 dpi. Kinda like music masters. Thus the filesizes are huge for the relatively small content. My full stash of notes currently sits at…5 GB

2. The JPEG’s have been processed to 220 dpi on the site, and it is JPEG’s that this site uses to render the images and not PDF pages. This is the around the same value as the DPI of a Retina MacBook. It’s smaller than the DPI’s of say the top smartphones, but I think this is a good compromise. I have actually been trying to downsize the scans to 460 (ala top smartphones), but PDFPen broke what was a working feature related to this, and I’ve given up since. Maybe in the future I’ll just scan at 460 dpi.

Now if someone wants to pay me for my stuff, that’s a different issue altogether! This site is more in the red than a non-profit!

Interesting New Thing in Apple Health

Was just browsing the app to look at the number of steps I’ve done today and noticed something new being recorded in the iOS 13 beta:

I’m not sure how accurate the measurements are with my Klipsch X20i via the Apple Lightning to Headphone adapter. But still, I find it interesting that Apple is trying to add new wellness stats to monitor.

An interesting tidbit when actually looking at my step count: since I don’t wear any “monitors” when going to the gym, my step count on days when I go to train is almost exactly the same as other days.
